EMEA Market, Proportionally Large for Proportional Pneumatics
Date: 08 August 2011


The EMEA market for pneumatic proportional single valves grew 18.7% in 2010 to reach $136 million. This represented approximately half the global market for proportional valves. In comparison, EMEA accounted for little over 35% of the global market for pneumatic valves in total, suggesting that machine builders in EMEA use proportional valves to a much greater extent than anywhere else.

 

According to the latest report by IMS Research, the trend to combine electronics control with pneumatic technology is one of the more recent trends in the market. This has helped air power remain a feasible means of obtaining system automation in a market that is increasingly focused on energy efficiency. This has been a leading cause in the increasing demand within the proportional valve market.


Report Analyst Robert Carter comments "The use of closed loop feedback in pneumatics set-ups allows for system performance to be monitored and air wastage minimized. Proportional valves benefit from this trend, because they can produce variable output from electronics control, and are significantly cheaper than the servo valve alternative. Carter Continues “The European market is a particularly strong for these products where PLC based system control, is a comparably common means of optimizing system efficiency and reducing energy losses. This has resulted in a relatively large market for proportional direction and flow control valves in EMEA, which is expected to remain by far the largest market for these products through to 2015 at least.”
